IOWA TROOPS IN 
MEXICAN BORDER SERVICE 

1916-1917 


PHOTOGRAPHED, COMPILED AND PUBLISHED BY DICK DREYER 

IOWA CITY, IOWA 









PARK A. FINDLEY 

1st Lieutenant, A. D. C., Iowa Brigade 


■11 


When our country was in danger of a Mexican 
invasion and President Wilson called for State 
troops, on June 18th, 1916, Iowa answered the call 
by sending 4500 of her guardsmen to the border. 
The 1st Iowa Brigade, under command of General 
Allen, consisted of three regiments of infantry, one 
battalion of artillery, and one squadron of cavalry, 
with sanitary detachments, field hospital, and ambu¬ 
lance company. 

About thirty days were spent at Camp Dodge, 
near Des Moines, Iowa, in the muster in of these 
organizations into the Federal service. Hard drill¬ 
ing and conditioning of the troops commenced im¬ 
mediately upon their arrival in camp, and, when the 
time to entrain for the border came, Iowa sent out a 
body of 4500 young men; soldiers, never equalled 
by any army in the world. 

These troops arrived at Brownsville, Texas, and 
went into camp under the most unfavorable condi¬ 
tions. The camp sites assigned to them were cov¬ 


ered with brush and cactus, not a clear space any¬ 
where large enough on which to pitch a tent. They 
soon had their cars unloaded, and escort wagons 
assembled, when the axes began to ring and the 
cactus and brush loaded into wagons. There were 
no mules to draw these wagons, but, with a song of 
pride and soldierly duty, every man exerted himself 
to clear the ground. Human teams pulled the 
loaded wagons to the edge of camp and returned for 
the next load. By night a camp site, large enough 
to pitch tents, was cleared, bunks were made on the 
ground and the Iowa troops turned in for a needed 
rest. This work continued until the Iowa camp 
was the neatest, cleanest, and best arranged camp in 
the entire valley. It was the pride of the district 
commander, and the regular officers pointed with 
pride to the Iowa troops and their camp, as a model 
for the regular army to pattern after. 

The sanitary condition during their stay on the 
border was perfect. Eight deaths occurred and they 


Gift 


were all of an accidental nature, a fact which speaks 
wonders for the duties performed by the sanitary 
detachments. 

The Iowa troops entered in many contests; base¬ 
ball, football, polo, prize drills, shooting, every 
form of clean sport found Iowa represented, and 
Iowa always brought home the bacon. They won 
first prize in every event, in’ the shooting won the 
championship of the world. No finer body of men 
ever existed. No community in the world of 4500 
population can begin to show the high moral stand¬ 
ard shown by these soldiers. These men have done 


their bit on the border, they have stood guard on 
the Rio Grande for six months, under trying condi¬ 
tions. They have worked hard and have set a 
standard of proficiency that no other troops have 
ever reached. They return home better men moral¬ 
ly, physically, and more patriotic than many who 
stayed at home. 

Iowa should be proud of her answer to the Presi¬ 
dent’s call, and realize that preparedness parade in 
a street of an Iowa city and through the sand and 
cactus on the Mexican border are two different 
things.

HEADQUARTERS BROWNSVILLE DISTRICT 
Brownsville, Texas 

December 13, 1916. 

Having been asked to express my appreciation 
of the Iowa troops, I am very glad to state that the 
Iowa Brigade has every reason to be proud of its record 
in the Brownsville District. It came here well 
trained as far as marksmanship was concerned, and it 
has added to its record since being here by the high 
scores of its teams at the Jacksonville competition. 
In respect to other training, no troops in this 
District have performed more faithful service, have 
worked longer hours or accomplished more in results 
than the Iowa Brigade. Its camp has always been a 
model of precision and cleanliness. The discipline 
and subordination of the troops has been excellent. 
The appearance of the regiments of the Iowa Brigade on 
review or on parade always shows precision, steadiness 
and neatness of uniform. For these results we are 
indebted to the spirit of pride which has animated the 
men and the intelligent supervision of the officers, 
especially of their commander. Brigadier General 
H. A. Allen. It has been a great pleasure to command 
such troops. JAMES PARKER, 

Brigadier General, U. S. Army, Commanding.

CO. A, 1ST INFANTRY, DUBUQUE, IOWA 


“The Governor’s Greys” were organized in April, 1859, and has been a military 
organization in Dubuque, Iowa, since that date. In 1861 they were among the first 
to answer the call and served with an enviable record through the war of the rebellion. 
After this crisis in our country’s history they were organized again as State militia and 
served as such till the call came in the Spanish-American war. Service in Cuba was 
added to the credit of the organization at this time. 

On June 20, 1916, the call came for service on the Mexican border and Co. A 
reported in Des Moines with 145 officers and men. Since that time the strength has 
varied as follows: Additions, recruits 8, by transfer 1, total 9. Losses, disqualified by 
physical examination 16, transferred to Co. L 16, transferred to band 1, to Head¬ 
quarters Co. 13, to Supply Co. 10, by discharge 4, by death 1, total 61. Strength on 
Dec. 18—3 officers, 92 enlisted men. 

The organization was ordered to the Mexican border on July 24 and served near 
Brownsville, Texas, till Dec. 18, 1916, when they were ordered to Ft. Des Moines 
for the purpose of being mustered out of the U. S. service.

CO. B, 1ST INFANTRY, WATERLOO , IOWA 


Co. B was reorganized after the Spanish-American War on the 6th day of February, 
1900, being composed of thirty Spanish-American War veterans, and about twenty 
recruits, under which classification I came. At this time it was in the old 49th Iowa 
Infantry, and a few years later was classified as Co. B, of the 53rd, and in 1915 was 
changed to Co. B, of the 1st Iowa Infantry. Company B has taken part in every en¬ 
campment and maneuver of every sort in which the regiment was ever represented. 
As a token of appreciation for my continuous and faithful service, I was chosen First 
Lieutenant of the company May 18th, 1908, and on June 4th, 1912, was chosen 
Captain. At the time of the call of the President Company B was composed of 3 offi¬ 
cers and 75 men. We at once started to recruit, and at the time of leaving our home 
rendezvous we were recruited to 3 officers and 106 enlisted men, arriving at our con¬ 
centration camp, Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa, June 24th, 1916. We left Camp 
Dodge for the Mexican border on July 24th, arriving in Camp Victoria, Brownsville, 
Texas, July 29th. Our company took part in every hike and maneuver with the ex¬ 
ception of the final maneuver. At this time we were on outpost duty, at Brulay Ranch. 
We were chosen by General Allen to guard the brigade camp, and were recalled from 
Brulay when the maneuver commenced. The men have gone through the extremes 
that they have been forced to endure with little sickness, and without one bad case in 
the company’s record. We have had few discharges from service or transfers to other 
organizations, and the personnel of our company has remained almost intact since we 
were called out.

CO. C, 1ST INFANTRY , CEDAR RAPIDS, IOWA 


This company takes pride in calling the Parlor City of Iowa its home station, and 
the city of Cedar Rapids, Iowa, can feel justly as proud of Co. C, as it is one of the 
oldest organizations of the State of Iowa, and has been recognized and proven itself 
to be one of the best military companies in the State. It performed its duties in the 
Spanish-American War with credit that any organization of its kind could feel justly 
proud of, and upon being mustered out in May, 1899, was reorganized in December, 
1899. At the call of the President, June 18, 1916, Co. C reported at the mobilization 
camp, Camp Dodge, Iowa, with 3 officers and 131 enlisted men, being the second 
largest company in the State that answered the call. The present officers of the com¬ 
pany have been affiliated with the organization for a number of years, Captain John 
F. Rau haying been a member since Aug. 3, 1900, receiving a commission Sept. 10, 
1903, and has served continuously since that time. Chas. Kubias, 1st Lieutenant, has 
been a member since May 14, 1905, was elected as Lieutenant June 25, 1906, and is 
still serving in that position. Sewall C. Viles, 2nd Lieutenant, has been a member of 
Co. C since 1911, being elected as 2nd Lieutenant June 15, 1914. He had previously 
held a position as 2nd Lieutenant in Co. G of Vinton, Iowa.

CO. D, 1ST INFANTRY, CEDAR RAPIDS , IOWA 

Almost three years ago, to be exact April 29, 1914, Company H of the 53rd Regi¬ 
ment of Iowa Infantry was formed at Cedar Rapids. Adjutant-General Guy E. 
Logan then mustered into service fifty-five men with the following officers: Judge 

C. B. Robbins, now a Major and Brigade Adjutant, Captain; Walter A. Meyer, First 
Lieutenant; Carl Stoddard, Second Lieutenant. In July, 1915, upon reorganization 
of the Iowa National Guard the official designation was changed to that of Company 

D, 1st Iowa Infantry. On June 26, 1916, it was mustered into the service of the 
United States at Camp Dodge with 105 men, of which quite a number were students 
of Coe College. The present officers are Walter A. Meyer, Captain; Harry P. Don¬ 
ovan, First Lieutenant; and Charles Penningroth, Second Lieutenant. Though a 
young company, with the progress it has made and spirit heretofore shown historians 
can credit it with an enviable record.

CO. K, 1ST INFANTRY, WASHINGTON, IOWA 

Company K, 1st, I. N. G., was the second company of militia to be organized in the 
State of Iowa. From then until the present time they have always been a self-support¬ 
ing organization and have been always ready to respond to their country’s call and in 
1898 as Co. D, Iowa, 50, answered the call of the President with a large number of 
Washington County boys. 

After the company returned from the south the company was reorganized and desig¬ 
nated as Co. D, 54th Iowa. Co. D was one of the ranking companies of the State and 
some of the best rifle shots of the country have been members of the company. In 1915 
Co. D was made Co. K of the First Iowa. 

On June 18, when President Wilson called for the Guard to protect the Mexican 
border, Co. K reported with one hundred well-drilled men. Some of these men were 
unable to pass the physical examination and only seventy-five went south with the com¬ 
pany July 25, 1916.

CO. A , 2ND INFANTRY, MASON CITY, IOWA 

Company A of the Second Regiment is proud of its record. Originally it was com¬ 
posed of Civil War veterans and was mustered in in 1865, and has held a foremost 
position ever since. When the call came at the time of the Spanish-American War, 
Co. A responded in a manner that has always been characteristic of the organization, 
and in the months that followed till they were mustered out gave a very good account 
of themselves. When the call of June 20th came the response was simultaneous to a 
man. Men in every walk of life: bankers, merchants, business men, skilled mechanics, 
all were eager to defend their country. It will always be the boast of Co. A that when 
the call comes they can be depended on to the last man.

CO. B, 2ND INFANTRY, IDA GROVE, IOWA 


Company B, 2nd Iowa Infantry, was mustered into the 56th Regiment of the Iowa 
National Guard July 28, 1903. Grey Warren was elected Captain. The successive 
Captains have been A. C. Johnston, T. E. Murphy, F. G. Stough, J. Raymond 
Murphy, A. C. Johnston, and Edwin I. Lindsay, now commanding. 

It was reported at Camp Dodge, which may or may not have been true, that Com¬ 
pany B was the first organization in the State of Iowa to the last man to take the Fed¬ 
eral oath, 97 men and 3 officers took the oath. Nevertheless Company B is justly 
proud of the fact that Ida Grove, the home station, is the smallest town in the State 
supporting a company of Federal militia. 

B company in years past was one of the leaders in athletics in the regiment. During 
their term of service on the border, while not one of the largest companies, it is rated 
as one of the best, thanks to the energies of the officers and the general personnel of 
the enlisted men.

GO. D, 2ND INFANTRY, MASON CITY, IOWA 


Company D, 2nd Iowa Infantry, was mustered into the service of the Iowa Na¬ 
tional Guard in the assembly room at the Court House at Mason City, Iowa, its home 
station, by Adjutant General Guy E. Logan, on January 5, 1915. This event marked 
the culmination of several months of consistent effort on the part of Captain Heffner, 
Lieutenant Odle, and a few of the present enlisted men of the company. 

Following the mustering in of the company the following officers were elected: 
McKee J. Heffner, Captain; Harold W. Odle, First Lieutenant; Clyde E. Trevett, 
Second Lieutenant. The latter resigned a few months later, and in October, 1915, 
First Sergeant Arthur C. Echternacht was elected Second Lieutenant, who, with 
Captain Heffner and Lieutenant Odle comprise the present officers of the company. 

On June 20, 1916, when orders were received to mobilize at home station armories 
the strength of the company was three officers and sixty-nine men, and not a man failed 
to respond to the call of the President. The company proceeded to Camp Dodge, Des 
Moines, Iowa, on June 26 with a strength of 3 officers and 110 men. Since that time 
the strength has been reduced to 3 officers and 91 men, the loss being due to failure to 
pass the physical examination, failure to take the Federal oath, and transfer to other 
organizations.

CO. F, 2ND INFANTRY, FORT DODGE, IOWA 


Company F of the Second Iowa Infantry is the younger of the two organizations 
located at Fort Dodge, Iowa. It was organized by Major S. B. Philpot in January, 
1911, to take the place of F Company of Algona, mustered out. Since that time it has 
been a live, energetic organization, keeping pace beside its older brother, G Company, 
with which it shared the Fort Dodge Armory. 

Captain Henry R. Heath was commissioned Captain in January, 1912, after a year’s 
service in the infant organization, and a full term in G Company. Elmer R. Appel, 
the First Lieutenant, was commissioned June 27, 1916. He had served as Second 
Lieutenant for a little over one year. Theo B. Munson, Second Lieutenant, was com¬ 
missioned July 6, 1916, being promoted from Sergeant, after five years’ service. 

Company F came into the Federal service June 28, 1916, with 102 men and 2 offi¬ 
cers. Eight were discharged after the physical examination, several transferred and a 
few discharged on account of expiration of enlistment. The first of 1917 found the 
company at Brownsville, Texas, with 84 men and 3 officers.

CO. G, 2ND INFANTRY, FORT DODGE, IOWA 

The present Company G was organized in Fort Dodge, Iowa, in 1891 of the old 
6th Iowa Infantry. In 1893 when the State militia was reorganized Co. G became 
a unit of the 4th Iowa Infantry and continued as such until 1898 when, after muster 
into the United States service at Chickamauga, Co. G with other companies of the 
regiment became the 52nd Iowa Infantry. The company was mustered out in the 
winter of 1898 and was not again reorganized until March, 1899, when it was mus¬ 
tered into the State service as Co. G of the 56th Iowa Infantry. July 4th, 1915, when 
the State troops were again reorganized to comply with the requirements of the war 
department, Co. G became a unit of the 2nd Iowa Infantry, to which regiment they 
now belong. 

On June 20th, 1916, Co. G responded to the call of the President, and was quickly 
recruited to 3 officers and 111 enlisted members, with which complement it reported to 
the United States mustering officer at Camp Dodge, Des Moines, Iowa, June 26th 
1916. On June 28th, 1916, Captain Frankenburger of the 1st U. S. Field Artillery 
mustered Co. G into the Federal service. July 22nd, 1916, Co. G entrained for the 
border and arrived at Brownsville, Texas, July 27th, 1916, which place has been its 
permanent station since arrival. 

The present strength of Co. G is 3 officers and 85 enlisted members, the decrease 
being due to transfers to the Headquarters and Supply Companies and to discharges on 
account of expiration of term of service.

CO. H, 2ND INFANTRY, SIOUX CITY, IOWA 


Company H was organized in 1882 and was the first military organization at Sioux 
City, Iowa, to become a part of the Iowa State Militia. Since that time the company 
has continuously maintained its organization at Sioux City and has never been mus¬ 
tered out for inefficiency or for any other reason. Among its Captains who later be¬ 
came Colonels of the regiment were Charles E. Foster and William B. Humphreys. 
Willard M. Flynn, who commanded the company in 1905 and 1906, afterwards be¬ 
came Lieutenant Colonel of the regiment. 

In 1898 the company under the command of Captain Harry Gooch answered the 
call of the President for service in the Spanish-American War and formed a part of 
the Army Corps in the mobilization camp at Chickamauga Park. 

On June 20, 1916, the Governor of Iowa directed the members of Company H to 
assemble at its armory preparatory to mustering into the Federal service. In response 
to the Governor’s call one hundred men reported at the mobilization camp at Camp 
Dodge and were mustered into the Federal service. The company was later sent to 
Brownsville, Texas, where its regiment, the Second Iowa Infantry, formed a part of 
the First Iowa Brigade under .the command of General Hubert A. Allen.

CO. 1 , 2ND INFANTRY, BOONE AND AMES, IOWA 


Company I of the Second Iowa has a long and honorable record. It was organized 
at Boone by Gen. James Rush Lincoln and was the first National Guard organization 
in the State. 

The present company is composed of men from both Boone and Ames; the Captain 
from Ames and the Lieutenants from Boone. Ames originally had Company C of the 
Third Iowa but was transferred to a separate company on account of being below the 
minimum strength. Just before the call into Federal service the two companies were 
combined into one (Boone having also failed to get the required number of men). 

Company I went into mobilization camp with one hundred thirty-one men and three 
officers but lost many because of physical disability. The roll showed eighty-six men 
and officers on arrival at Brownsville.

HISTORY OF THE 3RD REGIMENT 


The history of the Third Iowa Infantry falls naturally into four periods. The first 
period deals with the Third Regiment, I. N. G., from 1892 to 1898. The second 
period deals with the 51st Iowa Infantry, Spanish-American War, 1898-1899. The 
third period deals with the regiment as it was reorganized following the Spanish- 
American War when it was known successively as the 51st, 55th, and 3rd Iowa In¬ 
fantry, 1900-1916. The fourth period deals with the 3rd Iowa Infantry, Mexican 
border service, 1916. 

At the outbreak of the Spanish-American War the regiment answered the call of the 
President of the United States and was mustered into service May 30, 1898. The his¬ 
tory of the regiment from May 30, 1898, to Nov. 2, 1899, the date it was mustered out 
of service, is one that every member of the present 3rd Regiment can point to with 
pride. The world’s record of remaining on a troop ship for over three months with 
perfect health is still accorded this regiment. The record of the regiment in the Philip¬ 
pine campaign against Aguinaldo, the insurrector, is a glorious history. 

When the President again in 1916 called the Guard to the colors the regiment al¬ 
most to a man answered the call and swore again to leave home, family and friends to 
protect his country. Colonel Bennett has commanded the regiment since 1909 and has 
been a member of the regiment for twenty-seven years. The field officers of the regi¬ 
ment have served on an average of over 22 years with the Guard. General Lincoln 
commanded the regiment from 1900 to 1909. Colonel Loper commanded it during 
the Spanish-American War and Col. A1 Swalm, now U. S. Consul in England, com¬ 
manded it for several years previous to the Spanish-American War.

CO. A, 3RD INFANTRY, WINTERSET, IOWA 


This company was organized at Winterset, Iowa, and mustered into the Iowa Na¬ 
tional Guard as Co. G, 51st Infantry, on March 11th, 1901, by Adjutant General 
M. H. Byers. 

The regimental number was later changed to 55 and on the reorganization of the 
Iowa National Guard on July 1st, 1915, it was transferred to Co. A, 3rd Infantry. 

It has had the experiences common to nearly all Guard companies in keeping up 
somewhere near to the high standard required by the Iowa Adjutant General’s de¬ 
partment. 

On the call of the President last June the company reported at the mobilization 
camp with 3 officers and 80 men. Only 2 men failed to report, neither of whom could 
be notified.

CO. K, 3RD INFANTRY, CORNING, IOWA 


Company K, 3rd Iowa Infantry, has claimed Corning, Iowa, as its home station 
since 1893. 

Its first Captain was A. B. Shaw. He was succeeded by Captain Emerson Pearis. 
The company was called for service at the outbreak of the Spanish-American War on 
the 26th day of April, 1898, and was mustered into the Federal service as a part of the 
51st Iowa Infantry and was subsequently stationed at Camp Merrit, California, the 
Presidio of San Francisco, and on the 22nd day of September, 1898, sailed for the 
Philippine Islands where it saw service. It returned to the United States about the 
20th of November, 1899, and was mustered out of service at San Francisco. 

The company then became a part of the 55th Regiment, I. N. G., its Captain being 
Howard G. Karns. He was succeeded by Captain Daniel W. Turner, Captain Claude 
M. Stanley, and Captain Benjamin J. Gibson, who is its present commander.

CO. M, 3RD INFANTRY, RED OAK, IOWA 


Company M, 3rd Iowa Infantry, stationed at Red Oak, Iowa, was organized on 
October 18th, 1893, with a membership of twenty-nine which however was soon in¬ 
creased to fifty. Jesse W. Clark was the first Captain to command the organization 
and Guy E. Logan was his Second Lieutenant. 

In the spring of 1894 the company had its first service, it being called to Council 
Bluffs, Iowa, to repel the invasion of Coxey’s Industrial Army. The entire member¬ 
ship of the company responded to the call of President McKinley for volunteers for 
the Spanish-American War April 26th, 1898, but were sent to the Philippine Islands 
where they served in the Philippine insurrection until their return to the States in the 
fall of 1899 and were mustered out of service. 

The company was promptly reorganized as Co. M, 51st Infantry, and later desig¬ 
nated as the 55th Infantry; changing to its present designation as 3rd Infantry on 
July 1st, 1915. 

The company has always maintained a high rank in the National Guard of Iowa. 
For two years it was honored as being selected to do Guard duty at the Iowa State 
Fair and had the refusal of the duty for a third year when called to Mexican border 
service. 

During its twenty-three years of existence the company has been under the command 
of only four different Captains and each of them was a member of the original com¬ 
pany as it was formed in 1893.

MACHINE GUN CO., 3RD REGT., DES MOINES 


The history of the Machine-gun Company dates back from the formation of the 
55th Infantry from the 51st Iowa Volunteers upon their return from the Philippine 
Islands and the reorganization of Co. A of the 55th to the Machine-gun Company, 
3rd Infantry, I. N. G., thence at muster-in for the Mexican border service to the 
present, 1916. 

This branch of the service was new and interesting and a school of the machine-gun 
at Sparta, Wisconsin, was attended by all officers and non-commissioned officers of the 
company. The new weapon was found to be not only a most efficient automatic rifle 
but a wonderfully developed gas engine, weighing but twenty-seven pounds and in 
action indicating about fifty-nine horsepower. Its use called for a highly trained per¬ 
sonnel, making for a high grade organization. 

We have attended perhaps one of the most interesting schools of instruction, that of 
the machine-gun at Harlingen, Texas, hiking there in mud to our knees and rain, 
never ending, a steady hike of thirty wet slippery miles. We studied and when school 
had ended, one Saturday afternoon, the sun was bright and we hiked it back to 
Brownsville, and midnight found us asleep in our bunks. 

We have been through one of the worst hurricanes on the border, we have seen as 
severe a norther as ever is likely to hit the Magic Valley of the Rio Grande at 3:00 
A. M. while in a pup-tent fourteen miles from garrison, and we have maneuvered 
night and day in the greatest of maneuvers, all to our credit and glory, and we have 
fought—only mosquitos and cactus.

and itsittde was Company C, 3rd Iowa Infantry. About a year later the organization 
was tranferred to Company I, 2nd Iowa Infantry, and, as such, it remained until 1897, 
when anther system of numbering of the regiments made it Company I, 50th Iowa 
Infantn Under this designation, the company saw service in the Spanish-American

ized aridOo. I, 50th Infantry, became Company I, 54th Iowa Infantry, until June 1st,

HISTORY OF THE 1ST ARTILLERY 


With no previous field training as a battalion organization the Iowa artillery 
reached the border the latter part of July and on its departure had succeeded in win¬ 
ning first place in all efficiency tests conducted in the Brownsville district in competi¬ 
tion with four battalions from other States. 

The battalion was organized in August, 1915, and consisted of Batteries A, B, and 
C, located in the three Mississippi River towns, Clinton, Davenport, and Muscatine 
respectively. Each of the three batteries had had ten days of field training previously. 
Major R. S. Whitley was promoted to its command from the captaincy of A Battery. 

Much credit for the excellent record made by the organization during its border 
service is due Captain E. S. Wheeler, Fourth U. S. Field Artillery, assigned as 
inspector-instructor.

Battery A was organized Feb. 2, 1914, with Capt. G. W. Dulany, Jr., in com¬ 
mand. It was formed with Co. H of the former 54th as a nucleus. The first camp 
was held at De Witt, Iowa, about six weeks after the battery received its wheel equip¬ 
ment. The next year Major R. S. Whitley became its Captain and was in command 
at the time of the next camp, held at Sparta, Wis., at which time the battery, in com¬ 
petition with National Guard artillery of three other States, was awarded a silk banner 
as the most efficient battery. During the same year Captain Brandt assumed charge 
and under his leadership the battery reached its highest point of efficiency. 

The battery answered President Wilson’s call June 20th and spent five months on 
the border. The culmination of its training was reached Nov. 27th when, in competi¬ 
tion with thirteen other batteries in a field firing test, A Battery scored the highest 
number of hits. Capt. Brandt directed the fire. The battery was mustered out at 
Des Moines, Iowa, during the holidays.

BATTERY B, 1ST ARTILLERY, DAVENPORT, IOWA 

Battery B, 1st Iowa Field Artillery, was organized on June 10, 1915, at Daven¬ 
port, Iowa, when the young men of Davenport awoke to the fact that our country 
needed a larger number of units of this important branch, fitly expressing the patriot¬ 
ism of Davenport’s best young men. 

Target practice at Camp Robinson, Wisconsin, in August, 1915, helped develop 
its efficiency. 

The President’s call of June, 1916, found Battery B an efficient organization which 
answered immediately to the man. 

From June 27th to July 24th Captain Compton prepared his men for real service at 
the Camp Dodge mobilization camp, the command being mustered into United States 
service on June 30th. 

Arriving at Brownsville, Texas, on July 28th the battery immediately gained a 
reputation for efficiency and at the end of its six months’ border service was known as 
one of the best artillery units on the southern border.

TROOP C, 1ST CAVALRY, OXFORD & WILLIAMSBURG 

Troop C was organized at Oxford and Williamsburg, Iowa, on June 1st, 1915, by 
Major R. P. Howell. Attended first annual encampment at Iowa City, Aug. 16 to 
25, 1915. Answered the call of the President of June 18, 67 men strong. Went into 
squadron rendezvous at Iowa City, Iowa, on June 20, 1916, where several men en¬ 
listed. The squadron moved to Camp Young, near North Liberty, Iowa, on June 
21st, and into mobilization camp at Camp Dodge, Iowa, on June 30, 1916. The 
troop, consisting of 68 men, was mustered into Federal service July 19th and entrained 
for Donna, Texas, July 21, which place was reached July 27, 1916. 

Much strenuous work was necessary to grub out a camp site, all of which was 
cheerfully done in spite of the intense heat. After months of varied and hard training 
the troop is in excellent condition. There has been much to relieve the monotony of 
steady training. Many “hurry up” night patrols have been necessary. A hike now 
and then and the November maneuvers have done much to educate us in military 


science.

TROOP D, 1ST CAVALRY, GRINNELL & W. BRANCH 

Troop D, 1st Iowa Cavalry, was organized in May, 1915, at West Branch, Iowa, 
and consisted originally of 3 officers and 63 enlisted men, all of whom were provided 
with their own private mounts. 

Responded to President’s call June 20, 1916, assembling at West Branch, Iowa, and 
marching overland to Iowa City where they joined the Iowa squadron. Went into 
camp at Camp Young, Iowa, June 22, 1916, where 24 additional men were enlisted. 
When called on to sign muster-in oath, 48 men, through misunderstanding, refused to 
sign and were returned to their home station. The troop, after sending all private 
mounts home, was then moved to Camp Dodge, Iowa, June 30, 1916, where 8 new 
enlistments were secured and 24 men of the 1st separate infantry company of Grinnell, 
Iowa, were transferred to Troop D, which brought the membership to 73 which num¬ 
ber mustered into the service of the United States July 19, 1916. Left for the Mex¬ 
ican border July 23, 1916, and arrived at Donna, Texas, July 28, 1916. On Aug. 4, 
1916, 22 men who had returned to home station from Camp Young were again called 
and immediately mustered into service of the United States, joining their troop at 
Donna, Texas, on Aug. 16, 1916. Two deaths occurred in Troop D during the ser¬ 
vice, both resulting from accidental discharge of pistols.
